...and imagineers.
I would not speak of the two in the same sentence. Doom should have met its doom a very long time ago ...
No, but what can you expect. This is Disney. Most malls would have sales and special offers when undergoing the type of massive construction that DD is. I had a family member with me who hadn't been there in about 18 months and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. He couldn't believe that they would actually keep the entire place open during such a mess.
Funny thing, the lawyers cause them to add gates to attractions that were just fine for 30 years without them. They cause railings to be added to railings and walls in case someone does something patently stupid and unsafe. They added those straps they demand you pull on before your ride starts because they want YOU to have been the last person to check and make sure you are secured so the liability falls more to you if you wind up dead or injured. ... But when it comes to making truckloads of money by allowing people to get drunk out of their minds, well ... the lawyers lose out to the leaders of the parks and resorts.
I heard Bob Iger deeply cares about each and every one of his theme park guests.
No way you get a like for that. None. More of a chance of me giving 'LikesWhore' @Lee one for one of his one-word, 67-like posts.
Not me. But you know that. But I do want to go on it another 3-4 times before definitively saying that.
I also still love UNI classics like ET (best dark ride in O-Town) and MiB and the Mummy as well as Spidey ... I really do have a problem with having to wear 3D glasses on every damn new attraction they build.

I've always liked Columbia Harbor House but often tended to hit Cosmic or Pecos instead, but I was really impressed by the new menu on my last visit so think that will be my go-to MK quick service from now on - especially as it's the only one you can always find a seat in now that everyone's been tipped out into the park to wait for their Fastpass times.
Yes!
@WDW1974 If the GMR stays, and obviously gets the much needed revamp or update..something, what are the chances they'll go with the Muppet version? I know pretty slim but it would at least save 2 existing 'legacy' attractions at one shot. Have the ride and then play the 4-D movie at the end.
I'd just hate to see these two be demolished. GMR, for one, is such a beautiful building and really goes back to the way things should be done at WDW as far as theme and immersion. The ride needs a new upddate and spruce but taking that out just seems like such a waste. And Muppets, well, this was always a must see because well its the Muppets. No other explaination necessary.
Pigs in Space crossover with Guardians? Given the years, Peter Quill would know who they were
None.
I always say that anything is possible.
The 3rd gate is very, very likely.
It is not, however, a definite.
Ew...why can't we have nice things like this in the US...my wife will never go to japan sadly so I don't know if I will ever get to go
Wow does it suck that they get this and all we get are carni rides at DHS...
Dangerous question, but why will your wife never go to Japan?

I agree on Columbia Harbor House. It was one of the first counter service places I ever ate at and is one of my favorite counter service places at WDW of all time.
I first went there on my 2nd trip to WDW ever back in the early 1990's. I didn't go to Columbia Harbor House on the first trip since my mom won a drawing for a free trip to WDW that included a lot of free stuff including 3 free table services a day on WDW property.

Do you know for a fact they sell booze now out there? I have been told by multiple O-Town fanbois who visit USH for the event that they no longer sell alcohol.
FWIW, they stopped having the event for 4-5=6 years a while back ... violence was part of the problem as was the fact that Knott's owns Halloween in SoCal. Or did for many years.
Thanks. Didn't see your post before asking ... that's what I thought.
I think that just guaranteed that I'll be doing Halloween on the left coast next year.
I wouldn't have booked the Poly because I think those prices are absurd. Hell, I think those prices at 40-50% off are absurd.
The Christmas decor is nice, but old largely. Much has been taken away from EPCOT. ... MK thinks Christmas is only celebrated on MSUSA.
But it is generally a very nice time to visit and for a first holiday visit, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself.

Well, whether you plan on getting drunk, eating your kid's candy, going out in Elsa drag or spending the night at a theme park, I'd like to wish everyone a
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween!
Too early to tell.
Yes, I think Mystic Manor is (at minimum) the best attraction since Tower of Terror at TDS. It's one of my top 10 anywhere, all-time.
In fairness, I probably think a lot more highly of EFG than you do. I was really impressed, and I think you have to include the pre-show and build up as part of the attraction (sort of like I would with DHS's Tower of Terror). With that said, EFG was literally the first Uni attraction that I experienced since 2001, so a big part of my opinion was formed before I had a chance to experience 'screen fatigue.' Maybe if I rode it again today, I wouldn't think quite so highly of it? Even then, I doubt my opinion would drop all that much.
BTW - I posted it the same night you started this, but I responded to most of the questions you asked about Halloween in Asia.
As for your game, my guess is Indianapolis. What do I get if I win?!?!
Where did you post that Halloween stuff?
I do think that it being your first UNI attraction factored into your opinion.
No way do I place it in my Top 20 worldwide. Just no way at all. ... Spidey is in that. FJ absolutely is in it. EFG isn't.
You win a free drink or dessert on me if you ever stop ducking me and and happen to be in the same place at the same time (don't listen to the Twits on the Twitter as most of them are ... slightly to majorly out of their minds) ... so where you headed next? You must have a Disney trip scheduled before 2015? Feel free to PM me if you don't wish to publicize future travels. I don't put mine out (well, beyond heading to SDL's opening whenever that may be!)

Yep. Dr. Blondie really deserves that PhD. ... Like I deserve half the online crap I take ...
That stuff is all ancillary. I have plenty a few hundred miles to the South ... and then some with SoBe's unique charms and Coconut Grove. That's stuff you do when the parks are closed or you are parked out (if you aren't a local). ... I don't go to O-Town for Lifestyle Center stuff, no matter how well done ... that includes DD and CW.
